Dissociation of electron-hole pairs interacting with triplet excitons in amorphous molecular semiconductors

Abstract: The photoconductivity of films of amorphous molecular semiconductors increases upon simultaneous photogeneration of singlet electron–hole pairs (EHPs) and triplet excitons and decreases upon photogeneration of triplet EHPs and triplet excitons. An increase in external electric field strength leads to a decrease in the effect of triplet excitons on the film photoconductivity caused by EHP dissociation. It is concluded that under increasing external electric field strength the mobility of charge carriers increas… Show more

“…In earlier works [2,14,15], it was shown that the EHP lifetime in PEPK films with ICTC could be tens to hundreds of seconds at room temperature as a result of the existence of a positive potential barrier for hole transfer from the carbazole moiety of PEPK to an ICTC molecule upon EHP annihilation and preferably the triplet spin state of EHP. Furthermore, PEPK films contain hole traps in the vicinity of ICTC molecules [16,17], which also favor the formation of latent image by trapping photogenerated holes.…”

“…The choice of MC, PC1, and PC2 for the studies was determined by the fact that the profiles of the spectra and the absorption maximums for these dyes in PS films are similar and result from only one electronic transition. But in AMS, the neutral dye MC, whose molecular structure is similar to that of molecules of the organic compounds with intramolecular charge transfer [10], may be considered as a site of photogeneration of both holes and electrons [11]. The dye PD1 plays a role of a photogeneration site for holes, whereas PD2 acts as a photogeneration site for electrons.…”

“…The dye PD1 plays a role of a photogeneration site for holes, whereas PD2 acts as a photogeneration site for electrons. This is determined by the situation that the colored ionic organic entities PC1 and PC2 have opposite electric charges and their HOMO and LUMO are substantially different [11]. Amorphous molecular semiconductors containing carbazole groups exhibit hole conductivity, and films based on the polymers poly( N -vinylcarbazole) (PVK) or poly( Nepoxypropylcarbazole) (PEPK) are widely used in holographic and electrographic recording media [4].…”

“…However, annihilation occurs in the case when the electron-hole pair is found in a singlet (S) spin state. If the electron-hole pair is found in one of the three possible triplet states (T 0 , T -, T + ), then the probability of dissociation increases [11][12][13][14][15][16]. The latter is connected with the fact that the lifetime of the triplet electron-hole pairs is longer than the singlet lifetime.…”
